Romance Young Adult Book Cover Design (Featuring castle, rain, and storm)

The cover features a dramatic rainstorm setting, with a dark, turbulent sky occupying the top third of the cover. The main focus is a teenager with long, fiery red hair, slightly damp from rain, partially concealed under a deep green hood. Her intense, serious expression reveals a thin scar etched diagonally across her left cheek. She stands in the foreground, sharply defined, while in the background emerges the profile of an ancient, weathered stone castle, drenched in mist and rain. The scene is moody, with muted greens, grays, and flashes of red hair adding a striking contrast to the palette. Drops of rain scatter and blur lightly across the imagery, creating a textured, atmospheric effect.

The title "Ashly" is set in a bold, serif font with subtle distressed edges to give it a weathered, medieval feel. The text is placed prominently in the upper-middle of the cover, in white with a faint golden glow for added contrast. The author’s name, "Lane Peterson," is positioned centrally at the bottom of the cover in a clean, sans-serif font, smaller than the title but equally elegant.

The red-haired protagonist occupies the lower center of the cover, with her body aligned slightly to the right, leaving room for the falling rain and castle to balance the composition. The castle resides slightly off-center in the background, creating depth in the scene. The title is centered near the top, while the author’s name is aligned horizontally at the bottom.
